A Jew crushed the head of a girl between two stones. She was asked, "Who has done so to you, soand-
so? So-and-so?" Till the name of the Jew was mentioned, whereupon she nodded (in agreement).
So the Jew was brought and was questioned till he confessed. The Prophet (ﷺ) then ordered that his head
be crushed with stones.

(the wife of the Prophet) `Utba bin Abi Waqqas entrusted (his son) to his brother Sa`d bin Abi
Waqqas saying, "The son of the slave-girl of Zam`a is my (illegal) son, take him into your custody."
So during the year of the Conquest (of Mecca) Sa`d took the boy and said, "This is my brother's son
whom my brother entrusted to me." 'Abu bin Zam's got up and said, "He is my brother and the son of
the slave girl of my father and was born on my father's bed." Then both of them came to Allah's
Apostle and Sa`d said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! This is my brother's son whom my brother entrusted to
me."
Then 'Abu bin Zam`a got up and said, "This is my brother and the son of the slave-girl of my father."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Abu bin Zam`a! This boy is for you as the boy belongs to the bed (where he
was born), and for the adulterer is the stone (i.e. deprivation)." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to his wife
Sauda bint Zam`a, "Screen yourself from this boy," when he saw the boy's resemblance to `Utba.
Since then the boy did not see Sauda till he died.

The custom (in old days) was that the property of the deceased would be inherited by his offspring; as
for the parents (of the deceased), they would inherit by the will of the deceased. Then Allah cancelled
from that custom whatever He wished and fixed for the male double the amount inherited by the
female, and for each parent a sixth (of the whole legacy) and for the wife an eighth or a fourth and for
the husband a half or a fourth.
